#4 Why not 40 degrees? Why not 400? The computer models are set up to spit out whatever result is desired after all.

#7 What is the perfect global temperature anyway? Seriously, there doesnt seem to be a consensus on what earths optimal median temperature should be. It may sound incredibly ignorant but maybe a slight temperature increase may be a good thing or at least not necessarily a universal bad thing. If the climate gurus are correct life may get even more unpredictable for the folks that live in a flood plain but I get an extension on my growing season. And isnt evolution what the Gaia worshipers are all about?

#8 If you live in much of the northern US, the place where you live was under a mile or two of ice 10,000 years ago. That's just a blink of the eye in geological time. The earth's climate changes, and has changed for billions of years before we arrived on the scene. It will continue to change whether or not we allow a bunch of crooked politicians to cheat us out of several hundred billion dollars.

#10 the place where you live was under a mile or two of ice 10,000 years ago.

Holey shit! I'm surpised the 3 million degrees of the earths core didn't melt that.

#11 "World risks 4C rise even if there is a deal"

I wish it would hurry the hell UP!

Nothing's a much fun as packing the car after a craft show, in cold rain changing to snow - in early December - in central Virginia.

These clowns keep promising Gerbil Worming - when are they going to deliver? >:-(

#12 21 Degrees, right here, right now, in central Alabama to boot. (Montgomery area)

Global Hysteria is a far bettr name.

#13 We had snow Thursday, and it's supposed to start again tonight. Thursday night was COLD - -1F. We usually don't get temps like that until January.

The idiots predicting the "end of the world" all have their names on those emails I've downloaded and been reading. The most overwhelming sense one gets from those emails is utter contempt for anyone not in their little "group". They should all be forced to emigrate to Alice Springs or Coober Peady in Australia, and be forced to live on charity.
